As above I need to buy a new camera for New York next month and havent got a clue what to buy!! Want to spend around £200 and must be small enough to fit in her handbag (hate carrying stuff whilst walking about

). My mum has a Canon Ixus 65 which is nice but I cant seem to take a very good pic on it compared to my old Nikon one. Also looked at the Sony N2 which looks good....
Any ideas??!
